1 Oleanolic acid, a pentacyclic triterpenoid, induces rabbit platelet aggregation through a phospholipase C-calcium dependent signaling pathway. Oleanolic Acid LOC100009319 Oryctolagus cuniculus
2 Pretreating the platelets with U73122, a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, blocked the oleanolic acid induced-aggregation, whereas acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor, had no effect. Oleanolic Acid LOC100009319 Oryctolagus cuniculus
3 Pretreating the platelets with U73122, a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, blocked the oleanolic acid induced-aggregation, whereas acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor, had no effect. Oleanolic Acid LOC100009319 Oryctolagus cuniculus
4 Overall, these results suggest that oleanolic acid can induce platelet aggregation, which may be mediated by the stimulation of PLC-mediated cytosolic calcium mobilization. Oleanolic Acid LOC100009319 Oryctolagus cuniculus
